Synopsis

Sometimes life doesn’t turn out how you thought, but you can still find your place.
Alicia is a single mother to her eight-year-old son, Kenny. Being a single mother is hard enough, but her son’s principal seems convinced that she is unfit because she is on the autism spectrum.
The school keeps accusing her son of the weirdest things, such as making the school garden grow and disappearing in the middle of class. Uncertain if the school is being delusional or if more is going on, Alicia decides to track down her son’s father.
Except that she only saw him one night, a night she has tried hard to forget. Now Alicia has a man following her and claiming that her son is the heir to the Elvish throne. All Alicia wants to do is keep her son safe, but to do that, she has to give up everything she has ever known and go to a place that follows its own set of rules.
In-Between is full of magic, motherly love, and found family. It has a positive own-voice autism rep, Aromantic/Asexual rep, and a M/M romance.

Alicia is a single mother to her eight-year-old son, Kenny. Lately, between the school accusing him of ridiculous shenanigans, like making a large pile of rocks, or disappearing in the middle of class, and her son’s principal is seemingly unconvinced she’s a fit mother because she’s on the autism sp......more
